One Asia: Traditional Thai For Birthday
Due to an incredible selection of PAN Asian specialities and India’s best brilliant chefs, One Asia is the hottest spot to eat in Indore. Between the 18th and the 25th of January, One Asia held an incredible Thai Food Fest, including Thailand’s excellent seasonal food and products. “Let’s dinner here on my birthday,” my mum said. As a result, on January 19th, we went out to dine at One Asia to sample their legendary set menu that can transform any average meal into a memorable occasion.
One of the reasons we love One Asia is that it is bedecked in warm oriental motifs, and caters to all of a high-end diner’s eating needs. Thus, we feel that the enticing set menu created for Thai Fest must have delighted the majority of attendees! On January 19th, we observed nothing but world-class service amidst a star-studded audience in the city’s prettiest dining room, from flawless seafood cooked by expert chefs to great alcohol pairings.
Everything was perfect on this particular day! As a result, our opulent celebratory lunch kicked off with a round of all-star snacks and beverages. Fried wontons and prawn crackers were the first to come on the table, and they went perfectly with Asian cocktails such as the Bangkok Sour and Thai Fashioned. Bangkok Sour was a vodka-based drink, whilst Thai Fashioned was a herbal Scotch-based concoction.
We sampled the crispy prawns coated in basil, despite the fact that we may have lapsed into a self-induced food coma thereafter. These, as well as the delicious fish satay and a perfectly cooked glass noodles seafood salad! If Thailand is known for its fiery cuisine and colourful culture, then these appetisers embodied every ounce of that legacy and tradition. The Thai Tom Yum soup was next, and it was delivered in a cute hot pot soup crock.
This soup combines Thailand’s coolest and wildest flavours into a traditional sweet and savoury stew. This soup gets its name from two Thai words: Tom and Yam. While Tom alludes to the act of boiling, Yam refers to a hot and sour salad. When combined, they make Tom Yum, a Thai version of a traditional hot and sour soup.
We dined on world-class Thai cuisine, including Thai red curry prawns with water chestnuts, stir-fried fish in Thai black pepper sauce, seafood fried rice, and Jasmine rice for the main course.
Enjoying these delectable flavours helped us realise why Thailand is known as the land of smiles. Finally, we were served the day’s most delicious dessert: sticky coconut milk sweetened rice wrapped in a parcel of Thai Banana. Coconut Milk Sticky Rice, also known as Khao Neeo Mamuang in Thailand, is a Thai delicacy that is frequently served with seasonal fruits.
It was fantastic to have this traditional dish, and that is why I believe One Asia is the greatest restaurant in town for PAN Asian food. We had a fantastic lunch at One Asia, and whether or not they are conducting a food festival, we suggest it for authentic Thai Asian cuisine.
Chef Hemant Sharki deserves special applaud for making this day so memorable for us.
